“When I look in the mirror, I throw up,” admits Arnold Schwarzenegger, a seven-time winner of bodybuilding title Mr. Olympia, now 69.

“I was already so critical of myself, even when I was in top physical shape,” he reveals in Cigar Aficionado’s February issue. “I’d look in the mirror after I won one Mr. Olympia after another and think, ‘How did this pile of [bleep] win?’ I never saw perfection. There was always something lack­ing.”

But, “I don’t feel my age. I do everything exactly the same as I did 20 years ago.”
